Arsenal News Show: Isak SPEAKS! - Injury Crisis -Romano Diomande & Oshimen UPDATE!

As the big man Ian Wright just said there people deluded I'm back again as usual big up to everybody tuned in I appreciate your continued support if you're new here make sure you're subscribing everybody listening do me a favor and make sure you're smashing the like button as I know as I always say get the creative juices flowing people because we've got a lot to go over. I'm happy the international break is drawing to a close on the eve of doing this video Declan Rice will be making his 50th cap for England against Belgium and he'll be captain in the side. Hopefully there's no injuries in that regards on the topic of injuries the ITKs of this world are saying is touch and go with a couple of players. Declan Rice has obviously spoken about captain in the country and where strikers and players are concerned as you know the transfer news keeps going on. So yeah as I said hit the like button and let's get straight into it now Ivan Toney a lot of Arsenal fans think he's the Messiah a lot of Arsenal fans are happy of recent reports saying that we're kind of distancing ourselves from Ivan Toney. Manchester United are apparently you know getting ahead of Arsenal in Chelsea where Ivan Toney is concerned. For me personally I think everybody well all the teams linked with Ivan Toney Chelsea don't know for Spurs they ain't got the clout like that but Chelsea Spurs Arsenal Man United whoever else been linked with him just based on his contract running down any interview he gives he makes it clear that he wants to leave. Thomas Frank from the summer of last year has spoken about such I personally think everyone will go and explore other options with the safe banker knowing that as every day and week ticks on in the summer Ivan Toney is someone that's fairly attainable and I said he would be a great option for Manchester United for what it's worth you know Thomas Frank's been linked with the United job as well as Gareth Southgate but I thought he'd be a good signing for Man United he's Premier League proven he helps ease the burden on Ramos Huisland who's doing all right. Romano has said Arsenal and Chelsea could be hijacked from for the Manchester United target Ivan Toney not sure on the word of hijack you don't know what's going on in the backburners but to me as an honest fan if it says Arsenal and Chelsea are moving away from Ivan Toney and Man United or anyone else is going from it's not exactly like Arsenal's bid for for Mudrick getting hijacked by Chelsea so whatever in it but anyways it's just one of the options to be considered and discussed internally said Romano. As I've said multiple times Man United are still in the early stages of the process to decide which striker they want experienced or young I mean it don't really matter really but you'd imagine an experienced striker would make sense because it's a good contrast to Huisland. Talks are gonna take place internally Toney will be one of the names available in the market so could be one to watch so yeah man you can't rule out the 28 year old staying at Brentford but it looks like he'll be keeping it moving. Arsenal and Chelsea have probably been linked with the same striker targets including Viktor Osman and Joshua Zersky people so we'll have to see how that develops. I know he's been injured but a lot of Arsenal fans did like the look of Leverkusen striker and Nigerian international Viktor Bonaface apparently the 23 year old according to this reporter in Sky Germany has a big market in England in addition to buying Leverkusen has a concrete verbal inquiry for him from an unnamed club from the Premier League. Bonaface is not actually for sale as they would like to keep him now obviously he's probably under contract for a decent amount of time and you saying a player's not for sale means you can get some more money. Leverkusen would be willing to talk if offers of more than 55 million euros would have would be made so yeah I don't think that is the craziest so FIFA some of the striker targets you see in their price tags attached he's back in training after having a doctor surgery in January so you'd imagine clubs would like to see the progress of him before you know drawing him up. This article has also said that if Arsenal and Chelsea did want Viktor Bonaface then they could pay half the price of Viktor Osman allegedly. PSG have been aggressively linked with Viktor Osman some reports today have actually said that that's a dream of his whatever that means I don't know because he has talked on his ambitions of playing in the Premier League. Romano has spoken before people obviously on Viktor Osman as well and said that you know Premier League clubs are drawing interest with him. On the topic of that individual it's well known his release clause is anything from 100 to 130 million. Apparently Chelsea and Arsenal have been linked with the move for the Napoli striker Viktor Osman in recent months. The striker has a massive release clause in his contract and his suitors are unwilling to pay up. I wonder why that is. A report from Napoli magazine claims that Chelsea and Arsenal are willing to pay up to 77 million for the player. You'd imagine PSG if they did want another striker would be more than happy to pay a decent amount more than that. It'd be interesting to see if the Italian outfit are prepared to accept the offer and sell him below his release clause. Didn't they pay something around that for him already so I'd imagine they want to make some profit on such people. So we'll have to see. As we know Osman has a release clause of 120 to 130 million. Some reports say 100, some say 130. I'd imagine just in terms of business no one is going to be in a hurry to splash that money on him. There's no doubt that the 25-year-old Nigerian international is one of the best strikers in the world right now and he helped Napoli win the league title last season. He could prove to be a quality acquisition for London clubs. Fair enough. As we know Chelsea are looking for a striker and Arsenal are obviously looking for a striker because as much as we like Kai Havertz and his run of form, what Gabriel Jesus brings to the table and I know he's not the flavour of the month and I know he's probably not good enough for where we want to go but I do think on the large part Eddie Nketiah has done well but neither of them carry that pedigree or any of the names I said of being consistent goal scorers per se. So I would like the best of, I say both worlds, but all worlds in that if Arteta wants to continue with Kai Havertz up front or utilise him in certain games, great. Trosshart the same, Jesus the same. But if we have another man that carries a 20 to 30 league goals, especially if they're a striker, I'm all for that. I must admit I do think though and obviously you want all the other players scoring, I am starting to believe now that we're not really going to go for an out-and-out striker. It might be a kind of versatile guy of the Trosshart ilk that can play up front on the left, on the right and is able to get a decent amount of double figures and that adds into the goals being spread out all across the team, especially our attackers and the fact that we've got better at set pieces and people like Gabriel have benefited from that. So we'll have to see exactly where that's concerned. Romano has said, I think Chelsea will be there. The interest is still there. It's really important to understand what is happening here. First of all, with the FFP situation, because Chelsea do not want to overpay. So it's important to know how much the package is going to be for Victor Mosserman and you'd imagine he's going to be on handsome wages. I'm not an accountant, but you'd guess anything from 250 grand a week all the way upwards to around the 300 mark. We already know about the release clause between 120 to 130 million euros with Napoli. So Chelsea and other clubs are waiting to see if Napoli can be flexible. But usually with their president, it is usually very tough to go there and negotiate, especially for a fantastic player like Victor Mosserman. It will then be important to see how much Mosserman wants in terms of salary and his contract. So there are some crucial financial points to sort out before Chelsea can say OK and go for Mosserman. You'd imagine that applies to Arsenal and anyone else interested in the Nigerian and Napoli striker who has 72 goals in 125 games for Napoli. We can leave with his head held high. He got 26 goals in the league last year. That's great. From one striker to another, Alexander Izzac has been linked with Arsenal. Again, I've done a video on Victor Mosserman, yes, but I meant to say Alexander Izzac. Go and check that out. And I've actually done a video saying do we actually need a striker as well as many others. So make sure you're making a mental note of that, people. You're checking out the rest of the content. You're hitting the like button and you're subscribing and you're commenting any thoughts that you've got so far. Leave them in the comments section under the video. Izzac has said on speculation, it doesn't affect me that much. It's been talked about many times in many windows. I see it as such a thing. Everyone knows that the summer is coming and if things show up, things can happen. But I actually haven't even thought about it. Fair enough. And it's going to cost a lot of money for Izzac, really and truly. Now, we were once upon a time linked with Joao Cancelo. One minute Barcelona want to pay to sign him permanently, then they want another loan. Then they're not convinced Arsenal could do with another versatile defender. And he was linked with us before, he said. So we're seeing it again. Apparently, Arsenal are in the race for Joao Cancelo from Man City, where he's kind of through his former, technically current, but former teammates under the bus, where he said Pep Guardiola has not been honest. Ask Rico Lewis and Nefanyo Ake, be keen to see what they're saying. So, yeah, and probably burning all his bridges because I know he's probably not going to have a future at Manchester City. And he's obviously at Barcelona and I'm sure he wants to move there, if not anywhere else. But he is contracted until 2027. He has openly stated his desire to join Barcelona permanently and Man City are keen to let him leave. Apparently, you know, Arsenal want to try and get a deal done and he has a £40 million asking price. Now, Chelsea have shown they'll sell players wherever, Chelsea, sorry, Man City will sell players wherever. But you'd imagine with Arsenal getting better and better, it's not like the summer when we signed Zinchenko and Jesus. I don't imagine Pep Guardiola would want to help us out in that regards, people. I'm not too sure I believe this. Quality player, a bit shaky defensively, but a quality player. But I'm not sure I believe that. Romano has been speaking about Diomondi of Sporting Lisbon, as well as Goya Querez as well, people. He said, I think this story is coming out because Arsenal sent their scouts regularly to follow players in Portugal, like Goya Querez, who's one of the players they've been following for a long time. On Diomondi, however, I'm not aware of talks or negotiations yet, but there are many clubs interested. So, absolutely far from a solution slash negotiations or anything close or concrete yet. Been linked with Newcastle and Chelsea as well. And he has a price tag of, they're saying, £80 million, as high as that. We've gone over Ivan Toni. Young Omari Benjamin allegedly has been told that his days at Arsenal are numbered. He's went on trial with Everton and it's a great success because apparently Everton are keen to offer him a pro deal when he does get released, people. So, yeah, big up the Welsh youth international and current Heylander. We hope he can do his thing. We'll get on to Declan Rice in a minute. £70 million for Ivan Toni's a bit mad. Bayern Munich fans will not be permitted into the Emirates when we play them. Seems like strikers are the theme of this video. I've done a video on Mika Beref as well and that's to come out soon. So, make sure you're subscribing and turning on your notification bells. He's done quite well since going to Austria and joining Stuttgart. And again, their director made no secret of wanting to initially sign him permanently and apparently he's wanted by several clubs in the summer. He has eight goals in 11 games currently and apparently Stuttgart would love to keep the 21-year-old beyond this season, but they're likely to face competition for his signature. So, if he doesn't make it at Arsenal Football Club, it could be a great profit maker. Him being 21 and having a good loan spell, Arsenal might give him a new deal to protect his value and then loan him out. There could be a way of integrating him into the team if he impresses in pre-season, but we've got Eddie Nketiah who might leave. But on paper, Eddie Nketiah is ahead of Mika. Gabriel Jesus is ahead of him and signed for £45 million and an important player. Kai Havertz is very versatile, but he's doing his thing up front. Trosser is there and there could potentially be another striker. So, that's five forwards ahead of him in the pecking order and you would imagine that we're going to spend a fee, collective fee, similar to what we spent in the summer or more, addressing all areas of the team as we look to get better. But you've got to, no matter how rich you are in Arsenal or a rich club, you've got to think about outgoings and speculation will be there over Nketiah, over Nelson, over Smith-Rowe. Cedric will go free and up wages. Pate is subject to speculation. Aaron Ramsdale probably won't be at the club. You know, Lokonga, someone that's doing well at looting, the club might say, you know what, move him on. Charlie Paterno, who's doing relatively well at Swansea off the back of the Blackpool loan, could just say, let's just make our profit and keep it moving. So, if you've got a 21-year-old in high demand in a day and age where there ain't too many great strikers out there and he's got a year left and you're presented with a sizable profit than what we spent, I assume, buying him from Fulham, the club might just say, you know what, good player, let's make money and let's keep it moving. And considering he was signed in 2021, three years on, it could be decent really and truly. So, we'll have to see exactly what's going on in that regards, people. But yeah, with a year left on his deal, there'll be speculation. Allegedly, Paris Saint-Germain have entered the race to sign Victor Goya-Kerez. So, that's PSG, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man United. You actually have seen Newcastle United and West Ham United linked with the 25-year-old Swedish international and current Sporting Lisbon striker, who's probably one of the most informed forwards on the planet, man. The amount of goals he's scored is ridiculous. I'm not too sure if they'll actually go for him, but everybody is linked with everyone. And again, I don't know what these clubs are doing, but Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea, PSG were all linked with the same players, especially strikers. Is everybody in for a forward? I don't know. You would expect to see some sort of merry-go-round in that regards in the summer. So, we'll have to see. Apparently, Arsenal are interested in signing Nottingham Forest defender Morelo. Forest valued the 21-year-old at £50 million and they could be forced into a cell due to their financial situation, but are unlikely to budge on their valuation. Apparently, Give Me Sport have also said, rather than splashing out on a world-class level defender, so that probably rules out the higher names we've been linked with or more household defensive names, Arsenal are looking to bring in someone of valuation of Morelo. Arsenal have also been linked with Eintracht Frankfurt defender William Pancho, who is likely to cost a similar amount. So, it's going to be a hefty one. Shout out to Declan Rice. He will make his 50th appearance for England and will also captain England against Belgium. So, big him up in that regards. On the topic of him, he has been speaking where he's spoken about Benjamin White potentially being captain of Arsenal and all of that sort of stuff, people. He did say, I was speechless. I stood up in relation to Southgate telling him. I stood up, shook his hand, gave him a hug and said, thank you so much. Since I've come into the side, he's put his trust and belief in me to now with 50 caps and captain the side. I'm speechless. He then went on to say people on, you know, Benjamin White and all them kind of players. When I get back, I can have a conversation with him. I would love him to come. I think Bakaio Saka would. I think Aaron Ramsdale would. We're all going to be on him when we get back. Hopefully, we can change his mind, people. Fair enough. He Of course, you know, you're playing Arsenal on the weekend. The owner isn't letting you lot know exactly what games you have to play and what's actually at stake on Sunday. But for what it's worth, I said to Jon Stones, I said, big game next. Jon said, who are you playing? I said, we've got you. We know what a big game is going to be, a potential title decider. We've got to go to the Etihad, which is going to be really tough. But if you want to get past that barrier of Arsenal being labelled stuff, you have to go there and win. Elite mind games, elite mind games. Having 10 years at West Ham shaped me into the person I am today. When I got to captain West Ham, I was growing in confidence and as a leader, I still see myself going that way. There's Martin Odegaard at my club. I'm not thinking about it. But if anything were to happen to him, I would really love to put on the armband for Arsenal. 50 caps is a pinch me moment. I've grown so much as a player and a person since I first came into the group at 19. Yes, you have. I was probably a nervous player when I first came into the England squad, but I've grown into it. I've enjoyed every single minute. The other night, we looked at the caps and people I've surpassed already. Hopefully, I'll keep going up. To me, it still doesn't feel real. To me, I'm still Dec, just a normal guy. I'm playing for England, playing for Arsenal and achieving my dreams. Big him up really and truly, if I'm honest with you, and we won't waste our time on what he's had to say about Harry Kane and Karl Walker. Ain't no one care about them Spurs dons. Zoubamendi links won't go away. Apparently, Arsenal unclear to sign Zoubamendi as rivals deem deal too costly. I mean, we all know Nene could leave. Speculation over Thomas Partey, Jorginho, Women, new deal. They're not, according to reports. We all know Arsenal have an admiration for Zoubamendi and he's been linked with Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, as well as us. Barcelona are labelling him too expensive. He has a 60 million release clause, which equates to 51.5 million quid. He's contracted until 2027. So again, not much room for negotiation. I mean, we've gone over the Diamande stuff already. If you lot care, Anthony Taylor has been appointed referee for Arsenal's trip to Manchester City on Sunday with Jared Gillett on VAR people. Once again, Romano has said, but for sure Arsenal have an interest, as do other clubs around Europe. So I expect Goya Querez to be part of this striker domino in the summer. Once again, PSG are not. This is conflicting. PSG are not currently targeting striker Victor Goya Querez. PSG have faith in Ramos and Colomani. Big up you lot. We have been once again linked with Joshua Kimmich. Apparently he already knows his only way of joining Barcelona would be as a free agent. So we'll have to see exactly what's going on there. And I don't know if Mr. AFC Camden or the ITKs of this world know or don't know what they're talking about. I mean, no shade with that. But for what it's worth, apparently Saka Martinelli and Gabriel are all racing to be fit for Sunday. We touch and go for all three of them. Could be a big boost for City if they don't make it. For a team that's got one of the Finnish squads, by Mikel Arteta's own words, happy birthday, Gaffer, for what it's worth. That does concern me, especially because you now see, it's been the case all season. We've been dealing with injuries since April. It's jam-packed with fixtures. You look at jumping ahead, but you look at the Spurs game. They will actually not play a game in the period that I think going into that Spurs game or that kind of period, we've got four games. They play none. We wanted to be in this territory and now it's time to do this thing. So we'll have to see. But with that being said, that's all there is to consider from an Arsenal standpoint. Let me know your thoughts on Declan Rice's comments. Let me know your thoughts on Goya Keres, on Osserman, on everything else we've discussed, people. Stay safe, stay blessed.
